Company Profi le Introduction

Elenberg Fraser – not your average architecture fi rm. An integrated design practice operating across the Asia-Pacifi c region, our buildings prove that good design leads to economic, social and cultural benefi ts. But what makes us so special?

Invention excites us. We address the needs of our clients, building users and the community by identifying the specifi c needs of each project. We ask the right questions without imposing pre-determined solutions and then we use our 6Ds process to take us to the invention stage. This process has opened people’s eyes to impossible realities. Who knew buildings could be both design-driven and market-driven?

Rather than applying a house style, our buildings are conceived in their own right, responding to their specifi c site, location and purpose. We don’t generalise across projects either – our job is to uncover and express the unique identity of each project, through built form.

The outcome is sensory – architecture that people can feel, not just see. Architecture that makes people think, acknowledging the origins of architecture and its plethora of infl uences, both ancient and modern.

Talented individuals and inspired collaboration form the driving force of our studios. Everyone brings their unique perspective and skills to each project, but most importantly their dedication to producing the best outcome for all stakeholders in the built environment.

We are conscious of the impact our buildings have on the city, its inhabitants and the environment. This awareness informs our work – we take pride in the end results but consider the effects and requirements of our projects beyond their completion, well into the future. We practice environmental design based on a fi rst principles approach, inspired by the natural environment.

Through interrogation, invention and collaboration we produce experiential spaces that demand reaction.

02_PHILOSOPHY The test of a fi rst rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.’F. Scott Fitzgerald For us, architecture is what happens when we are faced with an impossible problem. Before we even get to the point of solving them, our process involves identifying each project’s unique problem and only then, can we get to the next step of inventing a solution. There are often multiple confl icts in each project brief, stemming from the requirements of a broad group of stakeholders. We enjoy resolving those seemingly impossible confl icts – for example, we have proven that buildings can meet both commercial and design outcomes. In a world where architectural commissions are hot property, yet architects still only build a miniscule percentage of the constructed environment, Elenberg Fraser’s mission is clear. We can identify the unique problem of each project, and invent the unique proposition. We can take architecture to the balance of buildings, the remaining 96%. This process of identifi cation and invention is achieved through genuine interrogation – asking the right questions without pre-empting answers.

Questions and AnswersFirst principles, Clarice. Simplicity. Read Marcus Aurelius. Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature? What does he do, this man you seek?’ Hannibal Lecter, Silence of the Lambs Our process of identifi cation, interrogation and invention creates original architecture – something borne from the project itself. We don’t generalise across projects or let a house style get in the way of understanding each project’s prophecy; the questions that arise from the individual constraints of each brief, site, client and location defi ne a unique point of departure. We fi rmly believe that architecture can only happen when we are liberated from pre-conceived solutions. Projects become alive when the answer doesn’t form part of the question and we are able to unlock the prophecies contained in our cities and spaces. As we learn to read the site, brief, client, city and world, we can read the prophetic in the everyday details. The closer the relationship between the fi nal form and the original prophecy, the better the architecture. As we identify, interrogate and invent through prefi guration, our designs are kept elastic and fl uid until the fi nal moment when they are cemented in concrete, and their identity emerges.

Identity and politicsThere is no perfection only life.’ Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being Identity defi nes character both by what it is, and is not. The process of architecture is akin to the search for identity – our designs develop and draw out the character prophesised to each project. Elenberg Fraser is interested in discovering this character, always new and different, in each of our projects, rather than imposing our own house style. Identity is at once complete, yet emerging, and this contradiction in terms fascinates us. Our work to date can be paralleled with the concept of adolescence, fi nite yet incomplete, like the constantly shifting and morphing boundaries of our own identities. We are not contained by external expectations; we are in a constant process of formation.

We identify through embrace and rejection, forever imagining future impossibilities. If the ultimate test of an idea is holding its reverse position, as has been said in politics, then we have occupied the aesthetic ground which we have sought to reject, in order to test our own theories. Through this process, we have established that Elenberg Fraser are not formally extravagant, colourifi cally representative nor rhetorically elaborate. We believe that an architectural practice can be based around the process of design rather than a prescriptive formal language. In an era when architects are bound by the styles they occupy, Elenberg Fraser seek to break free of those constraints in order to fi nd fresh ground. Art and scienceWe see on the one side light, brightness; on the other darkness, obscurity … from these contrasts and this medium the colours develop.’ Johann Wolfgang Goethe, The Theory of Colours.

We create sensory architecture that fuses art and science, this is architecture that you feel, rather than just see. The crisis of architecture is its continued solely visual representation – we know that architecture affects all of the senses, and we are interested in the effect form has on the whole body, an experiential reading of architecture. Artistic and graphic elements enhance this experiential quality, and research and science grounds those abstract concepts. There is always something more than meets the eye in our buildings: what may seem like whimsical lines could be advanced lighting systems offering apartment dwellers unprecedented privacy, or wind technology creating micro low and high pressure systems, increasing air fl ow and passive cooling. We are interested in natural effect and phenomena, the natural world has taught us that passive environmental architecture can achieve the same or better results than over-loading projects with unnecessary technology and climatic controls. Our buildings look as good as they perform. We are the baroque as opposed to the mannerist; symmetry and convention are not for us, we throw out the rulebook and focus on the fi ne grain. The details of our projects become industrial design, perhaps infl uenced by the visceral origins of architecture or contemporary culture.

Past and futureWe practice architecture that is open to interpretation, we invite reading through sensory experience, rather than form-based reference. We are continuously discovering and establishing our place in the continuum of modernism; yet our approach and work has been informed by and engages with the origins and history of architecture. Elenberg Fraser was established as a refuge from post-modernism, the dominant discourse at the time. Our practice and projects are fi rmly positioned in the modernist canon, as it continues to evolve. Although we are inspired by our current environments, ancient architecture is equally a part of how we think. Links to architecture’s visceral history are riddled throughout our work, from the mysteries of the Solomonic column, to the acanthus baskets of the Corinthian order. We seek the classical architecture of today, complete with its deviancies and hidden meanings. Our belief that architecture is the façade, the skin that wraps and dresses twhe building, comes from the origin of our practice. The transient walls found in the market stalls of ancient Egyptian bazaars taught us that architecture is the backdrop to the commercial activity; it is the offering, not the product.

OUR VISION IS FORBUILDINGS TO HAVE IT ALL:

SENSORY ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

WITH NO ADDED COSTS.

Huski, Falls Creek

We have a vision for our future cities. Cities where buildings are designed using the art and science of the natural environment as inspiration for high-performance passive environmental architecture. Architecture that embraces the pattern, texture and repetition found in the natural world, to create buildings that go beyond merely meeting current standards to positively contribute to the environment – providing more clean energy, water, air and habitat than they consume. In this way our inevitable population growthcan actually benefi t our environments.

Our vision is for buildings to have it all: Sensory architecture and environmental benefi ts with no added costs. Elenberg Fraser is doing our bit to ensure this vision becomes reality – we design buildings that breathe.

By 2050 more than 70% of the worlds population will be living in cities. The densification of the city environment must be carefully designed to maintain a strong and meaningful connection with the natural environment and a comfortable pedestrian environment. Elenberg Fraser have explored these issues through our ongoing research into architecture and technology.

In 1932, Fritz Lang’s ‘Metropolis’ foresaw a mechanised city completely disconnected from the natural world. Today, our over reliance on artifi cial building technologies such as air-conditioning and lighting, has led to buildings with high energy consumption and unhealthy interior environments. In our projects, we have initiated a return to the fi rst principles of passive environmental design – a study and response to the local climatic conditions and a connection to the natural world.

Environmentally sustainable building design begins with the architect.Passive environmental design re-connects architecture with the natural world. It uses the natural, clean energy of the sun and wind to light, heat, cool and ventilate buildings, creating lower energy consumption and higher quality interior spaces. We believe this green architecture should not come as a cost penalty. Sustainability can be acquired by intelligently assembling basic essential buildings elements that work in collective harmony with natural elements, rather than adding costly environmental technology. Our cost-neutral commercially viable building philosophy effectively future proofs buildings by providing high-performance foundations – we have applied this philosophy to develop design responses, to issues such as natural ventilation of high-density single sided housing typologies and passive management of environmental wind in and around buildings in the city. For example, the Goods Shed in the Melbourne Docklands, was the fi rst heritage conversion in the Southern Hemisphere to achieve a 5 star Green Star rating from the AGBS. If we can achieve those results with what is effectively a big shed, it can be achieved anywhere, anytime, any place.

Elenberg Fraser is an architecture practice in its truest sense, operating across the Asia-Pacifi c region. Our hubs are currently based in Melbourne, Sydney and Hanoi, with other teams based in Jakarta and the Phillipines. We have established and maintained long-standing relationships with many clients, who appreciate our ability to add value to commercial projects by creating original designs that are economically viable. We approach each project from the position of our client and the perspective of future inhabitants, creating architecture that responds to the unique constraints presented by each brief, in each culture, in each city. Our portfolio is testament to the success of this approach: we have over $1BAUD of constructed work, another $1BAUD under construction and further $1BAUD in planning or development.

We work across diverse typologies – from multi-residential buildings and masterplans, hospitality spaces and hotels, commercial offi ces, and interior architecture. Elenberg Fraser’s design philosophy, people, experience and process allows us to create original design solutions that not only look good but work for all stakeholders of the built environment: the client, the community and the end users.

ELENBERG FRASER CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS

HIGH DESIGN VALUE THAT REALISES COMMERCIAL

OBJECTIVES AND RAISES THE BAR IN ARCHITECTURE

THROUGH INNOVATION.

Elenberg Fraser is an expert in multi-residential architecture and interior design. We are currently delivering around 10% of the apartments under construction in Melbourne. This expertise has been recognised through industry awards for projects such as A’Beckett Tower (2011 AIA Victoria Best Overend Award for Multi-Residential Architecture) and 401 St Kilda Road (2010 AIA Victoria Award for Multiple Housing).

Our track record in delivering residential projects that are both design-driven and market-driven stems from our ability to create solutions that address not only the fi nancial constraints of the speculative property market and developers but also the requirements of the end user and occupant – the hidden client of residential architecture. Elenberg Fraser residential projects have demonstrated their potential to improve returns and work within strict fl oorplan and cost considerations, but also provide truly inhabitable environments that excite and engage their owners and tenants. We create fl exible spaces that can be adapted to a range needs, with practical yet individual approaches to interior design. Generous communal spaces are provided, creating society within the building.

These inhabitable spaces are also the result of our fi rst principles approach to environmental design. We apply our research and understanding of solar orientation and wind technology across typologies to produce buildings that breathe. Passive environmental design means that we can cost-effectively use building design elements for shading, cross-ventilation, insulation and to provide access to natural light – all of which improve apartment values as well as offer more comfort for residents. The natural world is an important part in our projects, in fact, environments and gardens are frequently integrated into both private and communal areas in our buildings.

Elenberg Fraser residential projects feel as good from the inside as they look good from the outside. Our apartments offer amenity, customisation and a sense of address that comes from the strong identity and address that good design provides.

06_HOSPITALITY Elenberg Fraser is not your average architecture fi rm. We design luxury resorts, distinctive hotels and sensory restaurants from our regional hubs in Melbourne, Sydney and Hong Kong. We are known for creating experiential architecture and interior design, and our research and projects have given us applied knowledge of current trends in hospitality design and new tourism models.

Elenberg Fraser Director Callum Fraser oversees the conceptual direction of all projects and brings his unique design leadership to our hospitality work. Justin Gallagher has over 15 years working on the best boutique hotels and resorts across Europe and Asia and is the interior design leader. Melissa Chen has over 15 years experience working in high profi le global hospitality fi rms including Wilson Associates and heads up FF&E and product design. We work across project typologies including hospitality and tourism base building and interior design, resort masterplanning, tourism product analysis and design, as well as short and long stay hotel formats.

We build projects that are both design and market driven, and our architecture is informed by the site, location, client and brief, rather than a house style. We understand that today’s businesses operate in an experience economy. When designing hospitality environments we view the world through the visitor’s eyes, examining the crucial moments of their experience to create sensory relationships beyond just the visual – how do your surroundings make you feel? Our hospitality spaces are memorable, both evocative and provocative.

07_COMMERCIAL Elenberg Fraser understands that commercial buildings need to differentiate through design, while meeting fi nancial objectives. We bring our unique combination of design-driven architecture, experience working within economic and market constraints and sustainability expertise to create distinctive commercial buildings that add value through their strong identities and relationships to the city. Our buildings are fl exible and allow for diverse confi gurations and interior fi touts to attract premium tenants, leading to increased yields.

We have worked across a range of commercial projects including single tenanted offi ce buildings, strata offi ces, mixed-use buildings, heritage refurbishment and towers. In each of these projects we have provided the intangible benefi ts of design as brand and building identity along with proven returns, sustainability, and on time and on budget delivery. We are proud of our long-standing relationships with developers, consultants and fi nanciers.

Many of our recent projects incorporate fi rst-principles environmental design and we have conducted signifi cant research on the interaction between wind, sun and façades. Our building designs break up downdrafts for increased pedestrian amenity, create micro low and high-pressure systems for natural ventilation and provide shade and insulation. Our Goods Shed North project in the Docklands was the fi rst heritage building in the Southern Hemisphere to be awarded a 5 star Green Star rating from the GBCA.

With any commercial address it is important to offer an engaging street front, retail opportunities and a strong and distinctive architectural identity. Our track record across building typologies demonstrates our capabilities in building as brand – from McLean Delmo, lilli Apartments, A’Beckett Tower and Site One – our designs have enlivened precincts, stimulated local economies and respond directly to their environmental contexts.

08_INTERIORS Elenberg Fraser creates experiential interiors that you feel, rather than simply see. We design these spaces with careful consideration of the unique requirements of diverse groups of users and occupants; we use qualitative and quantitative research to inform our solutions. Our interior designs are inspired by a broad range of infl uences that refl ect our diverse interests and passions. Step inside our projects and be taken on a journey through art and science, popular culture, the natural world and historic events.

We have designed interior architecture for commercial, residential, hospitality and tourism sectors, but our approach to ensuring comfort, fl exibility and sensory delight remains constant. Our interiors use considered and sometimes unexpected textures, fi nishes and furnishings, many of them custom-made, to bring our designs to life and to make spaces for living. We are frequently engaged to design a building’s exterior and interior architecture, which allows us to blur the lines between inside and outside by integrating the surrounding environment into interior spaces.

Elenberg Fraser interiors are designed to refl ect the unique characteristics of each project – whether that is the aspirations of future tenants of an apartment, the location and historic context. These elements work together to tell the story of our projects.

09_MASTERPLANNING For Elenberg Fraser, cities are the working ground of architecture – we build in the city as if it is was our own. We undertake masterplanning through both our architectural work as well at a precinct level in the city fringe and surrounds – applying our knowledge of dense, urban environments to new developments.

Architecture needs to engage and respond with and to its environment; it needs to build in and with the city to unleash its potential. From our appreciation of ancient cities, we know that architecture is more than just buildings; it is the spaces in between. For this reason our architectural projects address public space requirements and seamlessly integrate urban environments with our buildings, which themselves become part of the city.

We apply our knowledge and experience in how to make active and engaging urban spaces to our precinct-scale and greenfi eld masterplanning. Our research and understanding of issues of densifi cation, demarcation between private and public space, access, amenity and social, economic and environmental sustainability are what inform our masterplanning solutions. We wish to create places that are diverse rather than monolithic, which offer a balance between private space and public interaction and provide opportunities for healthy and safe communities to fl ourish.

We’ve all heard of a liquid lunch, but liquid architecture? Well Elenberg Fraser have done it again, with Avenue, their latest residential building for Fridcorp, situated on the corner site of Alexandra Avenue and Chapel Street.

This is a building of pure phenomena. Like the ripples that spread outwards from skipping stones across a creek, Avenue is a series of pillowy curtain walls that radiate out over the surface. This ripple effect helps the building turn the corner, giving it a picturesque planning outcome; the fl uid surface refl ects and refracts the sun’s rays. Like a pool of water, Avenue’s surface is cool in the shade, but fl ares in the warmth of the afternoon sun. The natural surroundings, from the sky to the trees, are captured in the façade – their movements are mirrored in the surface, creating dynamic inhabitation. In this way, the design of the building amplifi es the characteristics of the natural world and then rearranges them into discrete pictures. Without a podium, the sculptural form appears to rise from a contemporary moat: a thin screen of water at the building’s base.

Not just for looking, the pillowy walls also create bay windows for each apartment, looking up and down Chapel Street, residents stand in the view surrounded by a canopy of trees and the clouds inthe sky. Each apartment also has a conservatory,creating a balcony like space within the residence. Contemporary luxury demands a high level of amenity and Avenue delivers: natural light and ventilation, privacy, clear open spaces and an over-arching sense that, like the natural world, this place is built to last.

Is architecture life? That is the question. Our new building Clara, for R.Corporation, may be the answer – the new masterplanned estate in South Yarra has breathed life into an old Council refuse site, creating a secret resort-like complex with a new park in the middle of the well-established suburb. Featuring town-houses by Jackson Clement Burrows and landscapes by Tract, central to this new development is the Elenberg Fraser designed apartment building, which draws inspiration from the environment it is situated in. Clara’s form and detailing speak not only of the origins of architecture, but a celebration of living in nature – who doesn’t want to be Bo Derek in Tarzan afterall?

You’ll fi nd this lush inner-city oasis just north of the South Yarra train station, and we have addressed this proximity by using an isolated slab for the fi rst four levels as well as vibration dampening. Most apartments are not impacted by the train station as they face east, north and west.

Clara appears to dissolve into the park that surrounds it; we clad the fi rst four levels in black laser-cut panels featuring an abstracted sunfl ower pattern that calls to mind the vegetal detailing and symbolism of the acanthus leaves of the Corinthian order. This contemporary version of the ancient decoration makes the fl oral eruption part of the surface itself.

The upper levels of Clara are an architectural language of economy. Slipping in and out, a mere 500mm deep profi ling of slab edge creates the balconies’ honeycomb effect, which, like a bee-hive, becomes the society of the building. This inhabitation is given another dimension by the twisting chrome screens that work their way up the height of the building, offering privacy to these outdoor spaces while mimicking the dappled shade that nature creates.

Walking into Clara, you’ll notice that the blurred line between building and environment continues with a vertical garden covering one wall. If you feel like someone is watching you, that’s normal: the other side of the lobby is covered in a lenticular wall, observing it in your peripheral vision it follows you, changing depending which way you look at it.

The apartment interiors bring the outdoors in. The bedroom is contained in a box constructed of renewable bamboo, left with either a natural or Japan black lacquer fi nish. The box opens and closes to reveal or hide the kitchen and lounge areas. In the bathroom, step into the transparent glass cubicle, surrounded by a mottled green forest of tiles and recreate your own movie moment showering au naturale - now’s your chance for that ‘me Tarzan, you Jane’ moment!

Clara celebrates life from a natural and architectural perspective – from the visceral and sensory origins of architecture to the exquisite precision of nature’s details, geometric and mathematical. Get back to nature, from the comfort of your own home.

CUSTOM ARTWORK BY MIKALA DWYER

It’s no secret that everyone covets corner apartments. More light and better views, right? Well, not so with Abode, our new Melbourne CBD residential apartment tower, where everyone gets a view: it’s democracy in action! Look closely at the wave-like 55 storey form and you will realise that each of the horizontal and vertical waves consist of individual rooms articulated as protrusions, creating the effect of a set of drawers pulled out at random.

These drawers gives residents the chance to give their home an individual identity as well as coveted corner views up and down Russell St, challenging conceptions of the homogeneity and limitations of apartment living. Each apartment has a presentation to the street, creating a collection of variably expressed individuals.

The building achieves a softness that skyscraperscan’t achieve, because they need vertical facades; Abode’s three-dimensional curve is an innovation in construction technology. In addition to articulating individual apartments, the curved form also has environmental benefi ts – art and science! The undulation affects wind pressure, which determines the fl uctuating amplitude and breaks up downdrafts to protect pedestrians. Abode is clad in low-emissivity glass that appears as a pink blush from the exterior, yet is clear from the interior. The base of the building incorporates industrial design through the detailing of the decorative mesh screen that surrounds it.

Inside, follow the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur through the white and silver communal interiors. Silver and white travertine walls adorned with wall reliefs become Ariadne’s thread, leading up to the apartments designed by Disegno.

This is CBD living with comfort, amenity and astyle. Instead of being one of many, each of the 450 apartments is an individual home. Express yourself at Abode.

People fl ock to Melbourne to nibble, sip, slurp and munch their way through this city. The crowning jewel of our food tourism is Shannon Bennett’s Vue de monde – an antipodean outpost of molecular gastronomy that consistently features on countless people’s must do’ Melbourne dining experiences. In the new Vue de monde, perched atop of the Rialto Tower, we explored the concept of the dining destination, but moved beyond the clichés that dominate Australian tourism – reef, rock and road – to connect with the local landscape. Melbourne’s environment is the river estuary, the former river that followed Footscray Road, and thus, so is the new Vue de monde. Harking back to pre-civilisation, the restaurant links ritual, body and memory. How have certain experiences hardwired our senses?

The river estuary experience is connected with the landscape: hunting, fi shing and gazing across black pools of the billabong. It is a celebration of life, through corroboree and campfi res. These experiences have ingrained latent memories into our bodies that are awakened as you inhabit Vue de monde.

It begins in the lift, where you are surrounded by treated reeds encased in a black leather. Exiting, you push through into the estuary proper and choose one of two paths. The fi rst sees you walk through to the bar, a monolith of locally sourced rough black basalt, the top polished to a mirror fi nish. This billabongsurface refl ects the cloud structure above, an art installation by Michaela Dwyer. Pieces of eccentric furniture create a carnival atmosphere – a true party in the wilderness. Wander through to a terrace fi lled with the blackened timber forms of a burnt-off landscape. Wet areas offer the ultimate estuarine experience: waterfalls of e-Water run over your hands over the black steel pools of the basins; the room is covered in chrome corrugated iron.

The second path is through the cellar, one wall of which is covered in stainless steel pins in a Clive Barker-esque arrangement, the other is a mirror wall. The only sounds you hear travelling through this live room are you and the people you are with.

From here you emerge into the restaurant and see Joseph Kosuth’s neon sculptures of Charles Darwin’s sketchbooks; on these pages the theories of evolution were formed. The dining room is sparse, it contains timber tables covered in stretched black leather with fi refl ies suspended above – clusters of tiny light sculptures by Emma Lashmer. This black and light is framed by the backdrop of the panorama room, with views out to the West and towards the river estuary. The kitchen is a campfi re, protruding out allowing food to be prepared off to the side. The series of chef’s tables for private dining have intimate relationships with the most exciting parts of the food preparation cycle including the events kitchen and chocolate room – inspired by ‘The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover’.

The events space follows a separate narrative, refl ecting the formal organisation of parties at the White House. Traditional round tables of no more than 8, to facilitate group conversation, have diagonal layouts. The lily pads above are the names found on seating diagrams – it is just as important who is behind you as who is next to you.

Dine at Vue de monde Rialto and let the surroundings liberate your memories of the Australian landscape. Gaze out over the water, smell the campfi re burning and celebrate life.

Sitting on a 900sqm block, A’Beckett Tower is a prototype for high-density residual infi ll. The transition from podium to tower is treated non-traditionally, with a thin veneer of apartments surrounding the carpark, which is accessed via elevators for cars, liberating the street front from ramps.

Step inside A’Beckett and into a world inspired by the covert existence of Maxwell Smart and Agent 99. The interiors of A’Beckett Tower’s apartments embrace the anonymity of city life, allowing you to choose your own adventure.

With 347 louvres in 16 different colours, you could be forgiven for thinking Elenberg Fraser was engaging with the local architectural context with their new building for Pan Urban, A’Beckett Tower. Au contraire, they are exploring the sensory effects of colour, rather than symbolic representation, by testing Goethe’s Theory of Colours.

We are interested in how the body reacts and processes the blended and indistinct colour fi eld, rather than what meaning the mind attaches to discrete coloured elements. Ironically, given the sunshades function to block heat from the building, the palette for the louvres was inspired by Australia’s, up until recently drought-stricken, landscape. Even while La Nina (over) nourishes our parched soil, the building is a reminder of our environmental history, and potentially future.

Goethe’s theory asserts that colour is a phenomena that exists at the edge of light and dark – as you walk around A’Beckett, the black map of the sunshades opens up to the colour fi eld, fading into light. This is architecture in the round, experienced cinematically as you view it from different angles. At the same time the building can be read as a whole, the detailing of the sunshades re-scale it down to industrial design; the city is about what things are and how they’re made. At times the sunshades appear to be falling off the building, they form a nap and grain from both the interior and exterior.

A’Beckett Tower’s carpark is covered with a perforated screen, featuring a design by John Warwicker of tomato. The imagery playfully links into the university environs possibly referencing the relationships which characterised French intellectual institutions throughout the 1960s. This artpiece acknowledges A’Beckett’s immersion in the education community given its proximity to RMIT and transmits the idea of the university back to the university itself.

From the moment you enter the lobby, and your eyes register the art by Daniel Crooks and John Warwicker, you realise this is not your typical inner-city apartment complex.

Compared to the building’s exterior, the apartments black and white palette is devoid of colour – but is everything as it seems? Like the life of the spy, you should always expect the unexpected, and these apartments, where drawers open to reveal splashes of candy red and hands poke out from the wall ready to hold your coat, are defi nitely unexpected.

Operable sliding walls give you options to customise your space – close them to keep the bedrooms and living areas distinct, or keep them open to increase the living area with one master bedroom. Opaque glass and mirrors retain privacy while playing on shadow and light. The apartments also feature balconies, the perfect spot for your telescope, we’re thinking J.G. Ballard’s 60 Minute Zoom.

From inside or out, A’Beckett Tower is cinematic architecture, giving you the chance to star in your own production.

Portfolio0809 LILLI APARTMENTS

People in South Yarra dress to impress, and our latest project, a mixed-use building in the microprecinct of Forest Hills, defi nitely fi ts in with the crowd. But we know that beauty is more than skin deep, and although lilli’s undulating black ribbons are an eye-catching virtual corset over the bronze glass of her fl esh, calling to mind Gottfried Semper’s theories of architecture as dressing, she’s got brains too. Lilli’s scientifi c appeal is not just in the analysis of how the mind works across the phenomena of her surface, but the technology behind the high-performing ESD features of the building.

Semper believed that the origins of architecture sprang from the textile arts, from the industrial design techniques of crafts such as weaving, but also from ideas of style and dressing. His view was that a building’s aesthetic, symbolic and spiritual signifi cance resided in its decorative surface, an approach that can be applied as much to the façade as to the dressing of interior spaces.

In form lilli is a square, in elevation rhythmic and pulsating; this organic building has no distinction between tower and podium. The banded façade is so vast you read it as snapshots, assembled by the mind into a collage of elements. lilli is Gestalt Theory at work, like a carefully considered ensemble, it demands to be read in the round to truly appreciate the full sensory experience and multi-layered details.

The roughness of the black ribbons, which warp up, down, in and out act as aerofoils, as they fold down, they create low pressure systems, and when they fold up, high pressure systems. This directs breezes in one window and out another, ventilating the interior spaces and reducing reliance on airconditioning. In addition to the black ribbons, a secondary ribbon creates a light shelf that is both aesthetic and functional, helping to balance and refl ect light deeper into the single faced apartments.

With her passive environmental technology, and striking ribboned façade, lilli is no seasonal fad – she’s a perennial classic.

Portfolio1098 ABODE

It’s no secret that everyone covets corner apartments. More light and better views, right? Well, not so with Abode, our new Melbourne CBD residential apartment tower, where everyone gets a view: it’s democracy in action! Look closely at the wave-like 55 storey form and you will realise that each of the horizontal and vertical waves consist of individual rooms articulated as protrusions, creating the effect of a set of drawers pulled out at random.

These drawers gives residents the chance to give their home an individual identity as well as coveted corner views up and down Russell Street, challenging conceptions of the homogeneity and limitations of apartment living. Each apartment has a presentation to the street, creating a collection of variably expressed individuals.

The building achieves a softness that skyscraperscan’t achieve, because they need vertical facades; Abode’s three-dimensional curve is an innovation in construction technology. In addition to articulating individual apartments, the curved form also has environmental benefi ts – art and science! The undulation affects wind pressure, which determines the fl uctuating amplitude and breaks up downdrafts to protect pedestrians. Abode is clad in low-emissivity glass that appears as a pink blush from the exterior, yet is clear from the interior. The base of the building incorporates industrial design through the detailing of the decorative mesh screen that surrounds it.

Inside, follow the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur through the white and silver communal interiors. Silver and white travertine walls adorned with wall reliefs become Ariadne’s thread, leading up to the apartments designed by Disegno.

This is CBD living with comfort, amenity and astyle. Instead of being one of many, each of the 450 apartments is an individual home. Express yourself at Abode.

PortfolioQUAY WEST RESORT & SPA0424

When Autumn’s icy fi ngers wrap themselves around the dying rays of Summer, our holiday dreams begin to turn from beach to ski-fi eld. Quay West, the building created a new gateway for Fall’s Creek, is literally a dream, its moth-like form represents the local Tawonga Aboriginal dreamtime mythology of the Bogong moth. When researching the site, we discovered that it lay over an intersection two former creek sites – which according to the Dreaming is where two Bogong moths were found.

With a solid rock base that protects the building from the harsh Alpine elements, Quay Westemerges into two timber and glass cocoons, the winged fl oorplans radiate outwards and the peach coloured glass becomes the dusky lustre of the moth wings. The Bogong Moth dreaming was traditionally celebrated by a pilgrimage to the highlands where tribes would feast on the moths – this is refl ected in Australia’s contemporary pilgrimage and consumption of the ski-fi eld lifestyle – like the moth, Quay West, as the gateway to the resort, performs an important function in the life-cycle of the area.

The building houses community functions that reconnect the village with the road, making amenities accessible for day visitors and long-stay tourists alike. By providing a clear front door, Quay West brought life back to the village, enabling it to address the requirement of Winter destinations to survive all year round. We connected the building to the street through the bus interchange and public square, as well as short-term parking, and it then meets the snow at the top via the building program which includes ski hire, real estate, gym, crèche, community meeting and function facilties, dining and a supermarket. On top are the apartments, which are cleverly confi gured with a variety of 1,2,3 and 4 bedroom typologies to house as many visitors in the 60 apartments as a 170 room hotel. The interiors open up to the view; the radiating journey around the exterior of the moth’s wings is completed through the interior design.

Quay West’s timber cocoon is an important advance in building technology. The question was how to use timber in an alpine environment, given the rapid deterioriation of the material from the stress of temperature related expansion and contraction? Our answer: Redefi ning timber wall cladding as baton walls with slotted nail holes that allow the boards to expand and contract without drying or cracking. Vertical batons strengthen and complete the moth’s cocoon – the building is quite literally continuously moving and hovering.

You must experience Quay West from all angles to truly understand the narrative generation from fl oorplan to cladding – this building is truly of the place. Take a winter escape and let the moth’s wings transport you to your own dreamtime.

Portfolio1061 LUNA APARTMENTS

It has inspired a dedicated fan web-site, generations of fancy-dress costumes and countless YouTube tribute videos, and now a building. That’s right, Luna, Elenberg Fraser’s new four storey residential project on Barkly Street, St Kilda, is based on Princess Leia’s infamous ‘dancing girl’ gold bikini, featured in Star Wars, Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. While Luna’s curvaceous form echoes the draping lines of Leia’s usual white robes, the shimmering gold glass and metal mesh materials are matched perfectly with the colours and textures of the gold brassiere.

Callum says that “the science of the building is the science of perception”. The metallic skin seems almost intangible, hovering between reality and fantasy – a comment on the tension between the interior and exterior self. How much of ourselves do we reveal; what is introverted and what is extraverted?

The kinky scene gave audiences the answer to their poignant question: what is Leia hiding under her robes? Luna was the answer to the ongoing conundrum of apartment life – how do you retain privacy, keep your lights on and still enjoy the view? And like Leia, who overcame the indignation and humiliation of being enslaved as Jabba the Hutt’s dancing girl through her inner strength – Luna is not just a pretty face.

To address privacy, light and visibility issues, we designed an operable shutter system, which surrounds the entire building, protecting the interior and housing a series of lights, which offer residents ultimate control over not only what they see, but what others can see of them! Switching the inside lights on refl ects the interior of the apartment onto the windows, and people outside can see in, however leaving the outside lights on illuminates the interior, turning the windows transparent, and people outside are prevented from seeing in by the refl ection of the lights on the glass.

Whether you’re pro-voyeurism or anti-exhibitionism, at Luna, you can rest assured that people will only be able to see what you let them!

PortfolioELM APARTMENTS0721

What’s in a name? Quite a lot, as far as Elm, our new residential project for Fridcorp, is concerned. The building is a continuous glass box with leaf like screens, integrated gardens, and textured concrete and perforated panels. Elm is synonymous with the brand of environment, creating a clear link between the name of the building and its identity. Incorporating the brand into the design enhances, rather than detracts from, the architecture by revealing textures and treatments, helping tie together a coherent visual identity.

The collaboration between architects, landscape architects and interior designers has resulted in a building that goes beyond a collective identity into collective environmental performance. A green ribbon works its way through the building, starting with the green wall on the outside of the ground fl oor entry that draws you in, leading you to another vertical garden in the lobby. Following the green trail takes you to the lift where you emerge on level 5 to the podium rooftop communal area – a space fi lled with lush vegetation and green walls. The green ribbon also winds up the building – a series of planter boxes are positioned outside all apartments’ master bedrooms. The planter boxes assist with microclimate management as well as offering residents a leafy outlook, a rare joy for apartment dwellers.

The building’s L-shape provided another opportunity for green living. In regards to the ongoing architectural conundrum, the problem of the internal corner, Elenberg Fraser took an approach of evacuation and addition, pulling the apartment space out of that area and turning it into another garden space.

Elm’s North and West facades feature sunshades, their varied rotations arranged to create a Bridget Riley inspired op-art piece, that draws your eye in, challenging it to rest on any one spot. Viewed from different angles, the fi ns become leaves dripping from the Elm tree, further exploring the phenomena of surface.

The fi ns are much more than art, they forma technologically advanced cooling system as well as providing increased privacy for residents. By shielding the building from sunshine between 12-3pm, the fi ns dramatically reduce the heat load, making it signifi cantly easier for the air-conditioning to deal with the high demands of the late afternoon, and ensuring the apartments don’t over-heat. The vertical fi ns on the West façade extend past the building line to increase privacy between neighbours.

In addition to the sunshades, all windows are double-glazed with low emissivity directional glazing, which is the product of two years research and development with an international glass manufacturer. Unlike most apartment glazing, this coating appears bronze from the outside but colour neutral from inside, meaning it lets in precious daylight while shielding from harmful rays and retaining a high level of thermal performance.

Inside, the two bedroom apartments become an extension of Elm’s brand. Green space is introduced through the planter boxes, visible from the master bedrooms, and joinery and furniture are used in place of rooms and corridors to direct the circulation to the feature kitchen and bathroom. Mimicking the unpredictability of the natural world, design elements such as the cylindrical shower and tiled fl oor provide exclamation points of surprise and delight.

Elm is not afraid to put its identity centre stage – its focus on natural living offers residents excellent quality of life and amenity by exploring the technology of surface through sensory art and perception.

It’s the classic empty nester conundrum. Your kids have left home, you’re left roaming the vacant rooms of a four bedroom house in Kew all the while thinking how nice it would be, now you’ve got all that extra time on your hands, if you could be a bit closer to the action and not have to live in a shoebox. Well, you can! The 15 apartments at 401 St Kilda Road don’t skimp on space – they are contemporary luxury – houses within apartments literally spitting distance from the cafes and restaurants of the CBD, South Yarra and South Melbourne.

Situated on the axis of the Shrine, we needed observe strict height limitations to not obstruct the view. Drawing from the modernist oeuvre such as John Lautner’s Arango House in Acapulco, 401 St Kilda Road is the junction of landscape and architecture. Starting from the bottom, the lower levels are clad in green tiles, reminiscent of Robert Haddon’s decoration found on commercial buildings such as the Napier Hotel in Fitzroy.

Moving up, the living is sandwiched in between the splines of the middle level’s façade, which wobble together in a Bezier curve and merge with the planters that tumble down and stretch up from each balcony, forming a canopy of life outside each apartment. The balconies are telescopic, which means the planters receive adequate sunlight and also drip rainfall onto the levels below. The upper levels are a timber cocoon, appearing as a separate building rising behind the lower levels.

All apartments feature three bedrooms, study, laundry, double ensuites, powder room, presentation kitchen and ‘chef’s kitchen’. Living is contained within the gallery area, the 10m x 15m great room as well as a 50sqm outdoor terrace. We weren’t kidding when we said residents didn’t lose out on space, right? Materials are tactile and sumptuous – fl oors come in a choice of parquetry or basalt (that we reopened an Indian quarry to attain). The bathroom windows are double-glazed; the shower juts out into the landscape, a shower in the garden that prevents prying eyes! Leave the tea-tree screens of the terrace open and thanks to the morphing façade you get views up and down St Kilda Road.

The lobby is a classical theatrical space. Togas wrap around walls creating screens that peel apart to expose lift entries. The bronze toned space is a box of infi nite refl ection with high gloss fl oors and mirror walls, a solitary neon light art installation creates a focal point. This is contemporary classicism.

We don’t do things by halves – at 401 St Kilda Road you can have your house and garden and live in it too. Don’t give up the connection to the landscape that a house in the suburbs affords – curb urban sprawl and head inward to experience the new paradigm of luxury living.

Portfolio9803 LIBERTY TOWER

The Western fringe of Melbourne’s CBD was a different place in the 90s. Colloquially known as the ‘Gdansk’ end, in answer to the designer boulevard of the East End’s ‘Paris’ end, this was before Docklands, before Southern Cross Station: it was the CBD’s gritty underbelly. The sheer aluminium wall of Elenberg Fraser’s Liberty Tower became the Western fortress wall of the city, discretely defi ning the CBD as its own city-state.

This wall is a silver sheet that has been hammered until it folds and bends through its balustrades and supports. Appearing poised to slip off the building’s angled façade, the perforated aluminium shows the angst and distress of the tower and its immediate environment; the building in collapse. A study tour to Japan focusing on Isogawa’s work led to an interest in the Japanese obsession with industrial detailing, seen in the unexpected delicacy of the mesh screens. This permeable quality enables the screens, which extend above and below the slab edges protecting the building from the hard, Western sun, to also be transmissive – the opaque walls become transparent when backlit from the apartments inside.

An off-form concrete building, Liberty is materiality in its purest form – the North face slab is extended to show the raw, unfi nished concrete resplendent with plywood markings and nail holes. The ‘Big L’ shape of the tower’s profi le can be taken literally, but it also enables the structure – two towers wrapped around a lift core – one silver and white, one charcoal and green.

The dulled silver of Liberty’s exteriors is polished and refl ected through the mirrored lobby interiors. Inverting the Victorian fear of the void, or great unknown – horror vacui – the design focuses solely on what is not there – as you enter you’re suspended in infi nite space created by the mirror ring. Like the television show that defi ned the era it was built in, Liberty’s lobby makes nothing out of something – the only object in the interiors is a fl uorescent light installation by Stephen Bram.

As Elenberg Fraser’s fi rst CBD tower, it is fi tting that the adolescent themes of becoming throughidentity, destruction and discovery, are contained within Liberty. It is tough and raw, borne of the harsh Western environment it inhabits – its bullet-ridden screen stands in resolute defi ance to the postmodernist movement.

PortfolioWATERGATE PLACE0022

To combat Australia’s fi xation with podium and tower separation, we treated the separation as a feature, cranking the tower back against the podium to create deliberate interplay between the two elements. Watergate is a double loaded fl oor plate with a twist, the two towers, Woodward and Bernstein, sit with a collection of apartments laminated onto the carpark front, affectionately known as ‘Deep Throat’. With a staggered footprint, the bulging forms of the towers are pulled apart. This is classic Elenberg Fraser – we are interested in the defamation of modernism rather than its standard form.

This was our fi rst double-loaded cross-ventilated building. We designed ducts in the ceilings and at the end of the fl oorplate that drive air through apartments, assisted by a solar fan on the roof. This means apartments decrease their reliance on air-conditioning and reduce energy usage – Watergate acts like a termite mound, circulating air through vertical grooves.

This building acts like a sundial, changing depending on the time of day and your position. Walking around Watergate the woven screens are bright in the sun or retreat into shadow, depending on weather and time. The different screen treatments include balustrades inspired by Borromini, with every second bell-shape turned upside down in a nod to Baroque rule-breaking. On the east face we slipped balustrades in pairs, creating serrated teeth that give the building nap and grain – architectural decoration a la the Griffi ns. This industrial detailing also refl ects the long-lost crafts of the local area, the ship-builders, metal-workers and welders who inhabited the docks in days gone by. The decoration exists at a scale that allows you to see what it is, and the hand of the person who made it.

Watergate’s lobby interiors are all infi nite – infi nite colour, infi nite light and infi nite lines – achieved through the merging of art and design. The North lobby is a mirrored Predator-esque space with a letterbox that barely registers as a ripple in the black fi eld that is only punctuated by the bright white of Kerry Poliness’ line drawings etched into the wall; you get the eerie sensation of standing in a life-sized 3D drawing. In the podium lobby, Stephen Bram’s L-shaped neon installation sits in one corner yet appears to stretch into eternity through the mirrors. The pony-shaped furniture drinking out of the glass-topped pool of a table completes the surreal experience. Finally, in the south lobby, John Nixon’s colour fi eld pulls you in to its depths, challenging you to fi nd edge or orientation.

The entirety of Watergate challenges your perception and gives you something new to delight in at each visit. The refl ection on the aluminium from one day may become transmissive from another angle, on another day. The changeability of the surface is what makes this building special, a part of Docklands and distinctly Elenberg Fraser.
